Sky Yen on LP

Vinyl LP repressing of this experimental album from the Buzzcocks main man. Recorded, back in 1974, Sky Yen dated back to Pete Shelley's college days, where he chaired an Electronic Music Society, playing records over the intercom during lunch hour. The material wasn't exactly easy listening/ambient style - it was raw waves of oscillator tones, wildly leaping up and down and stretching out into a pair of 20 minute pieces. 30 years of electronics-saturated music culture lends perspective to the appeal of Sky Yen - the album's edges are still jagged and sharp.
